POETS’ CORNER
By Lord Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
By Amna Ameer
Somewhere out there
A dancer may learn
How to let go
Of her body
To be able to move
A writer
Might make their
First rhyme
To save their soul
A scientist
Might have had
A moment
Of hallelujah
An earnest prayer
May have been answered
Somewhere
A crack in the pavement
Made room for life
And it continues to breathe
Somewhere out there
There is life
Even if it’s not mine
By Hareem Rafique
When people can’t handle their lives,
Accept the ugly truths,
Unveil the bitter realities,
They do something that serves as a reliever
From all the hideous realities; blaming the fate.
But how to help them fathom,
That fate wasn’t created to serve as the guilty one,
But rather to be synonymized with destiny.
By Tanzila Rehmat
Forget about the black and white skin
No worries for the body, fat or thin
Don’t think about the gapped teeth and fret!
You’re born to cherish this beautiful existence,
Because you are blessed!
Let yourself be free of intrigues and jealousies
Muse over Keats’s unheard melodies
Switch to Serenity, be Tranquility’s guest!
You’re born to sightsee the world in you
Because you are blessed!
Feel the music of your life
Fight with whatever it brings the strife
They would certainly grab your collar and put you to test!
You’re born to win over them all
Because you are blessed!
Raise your spirits up above the high
Wing your soul and touch the sky
Cross the horizons of North, South, East and West!
You’re born to discover your way
Because you are blessed!
Live for the moment you are in
You’ve got countless competitions, all to win!
Don’t submit yourself to the fears screaming to their best!
You’re born to kill them all
Because you are blessed!
The time you discern yourself and get to know
You’ll have the rhythm, you’ll have the flow
Sing to yourself in the quietness, the stillness!
You’re born to sway within
Because you are blessed!
